Now that I actually have my guitar amp setup again, I started to learn this song a few days ago. It’s truly amazing. Sounds so simple when I listen to it, but every time I try to play it I can’t take my eyes away from the notes because of the tiny changes through each verse. I’m sure I’ll get it eventually. Either way, it’s nice to feel the blood throbbing in my fingers again as they get used to the strings.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I’ll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can’t stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There’s peace I’m sure.
And I know there’ll be no more…
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven
